Smart PC Locker Pro

NoVirusThanks Smart PC Locker Pro is a lightweight and powerful application designed to lock your computer and all its functions so that no one can access your personal data, you can now move away from the computer safely. The PC is locked with a password, so only users that know the correct password can unlock it. The program is also able to lock the PC in Safe Mode (with Networking, without Networking, etc).

NoVirusThanks Smart PC Locker Pro locks the entire system and while the PC is locked, it disables the system tool Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) so that users cannot terminate or kill our process. Also the CD-ROM drives are disabled, so that a possible intruder can not bypass our tool with autorun.inf of CD-ROMs.

You can select to automatically lock the screen when the computer is started, to automatically lock the system after N minutes of inactivity, to power off the monitor once the system is locked for more than N minutes, to shutdown Windows after the PC is locked for more than N minutes, and much more.

Softpedia Editor’s Review 4 / 5 Stars

An overall efficient lockdown utility. Taking into consideration that the application is able to disable the Task Manager, run in a stealth mode, lock all CD-ROM drives, and automatically lock your computer after a period of inactivity, you can safely use Smart PC Locker for blocking other users' access to your computer.
